Title:
Spiritual Teachers and Psychotherapists Integrating Psychological and Spiritual Counseling: Insights, Issues, Boundaries, and CollaborationsHow do spiritual teachers work with “psychological” material when it appears on retreats or in spiritual counseling relationships? How do they use more psychological perspectives and methods and integrate them with, for example, Buddhist perspectives and tools? Similarly, we can ask how psychotherapists work with “spiritual” material, perspectives, and methods. What kinds of issues arise and what boundaries, if any, make sense? Richard, as a long-time therapist and spiritual practitioner, and Donald, as a Spirit Rock teacher with psychological training, will offer reflections drawing from their own practical experience and then engage in dialogue with each other, followed by discussion with the audience.
Donald Rothberg, PhD, a member of the Spirit Rock Teachers Council and the Executive Faculty at Saybrook Graduate School in San Francisco, writes and teaches on meditation, daily life practice, transpersonal psychology, and socially engaged Buddhism. He completed the two-year Hakomi Institute Comprehensive Training in body-based psychotherapy, and is working on a book on “transforming the judgmental mind.” Donald is the co-editor (with Sean Kelly) of Ken Wilber in Dialogue: Conversations with Leading Transpersonal Thinkers and the author of The Engaged Spiritual Life: A Buddhist Approach to Transforming Ourselves and the World.

Kennedy University.
